Femme Osage, St. Charles County

The little town of Femme Osage, really no more than a handful of buildings, has the perfect setting along a creek.Across a bridge is a small church, surrounded by trees. A general store, at least at one point, sits along the road.It is surprising how close the houses sit to the road, reflecting a time when travel was by less noisy means than cars.

Interesting - I just did a Google "Drive-by" view of the town. Just across the street from the General Store (3rd photo), is some kind of house that is blurred out. Wonder why?I think your 4th view is of the B&B there - true?Incidentally, you do a great job bringing small views of the area to us - Thanks!
